内容説明
Today's domestic advice writers - women such as Martha Stewart, Cheryl Mendelson and B. Smith - are part of a long American tradition, notes Sarah Leavitt in this study. Their success rests on a legacy of literature that has focused on the home as an expression of ideals. Here, Leavitt crafts a genealogy of domestic advice, based on her readings of manuals spanning 150 years of history. Over the years, domestic advisors have educated women about everything from modernism and morality to sanitation and design. Their writings helped create the idealized vision of home held by so many Americans, Leavitt says. Investigating cultural themes in domestic advice written since the mid-19th century, she demonstrates that these works, which found meaning in kitchen counters, parlour rugs and bric-a-brac, have held the interest of readers despite vast changes in women's roles and opportunities. Domestic advice manuals have always been the stuff of fantasy, argues Leavitt, demonstrating cultural ideals rather than cultural realities. But these rich sources reveal how women understood the connection between their homes and the larger world.
At its most fundamental level, the true domestic fantasy was that women held the power to reform their society through first reforming their homes.
